The First Pioneer Valley Dream Center is a multicultural, bilingual (English-Spanish), faith-based and volunteer driven non-profit organization. It’s also the home of Amazing Love Tabernacle. Our calling is simple, to love and serve others; the homeless, and disenfranchised, the struggling families and individuals from all walks of life with the love of God. We believe everyone is valuable, born with purpose and a dream. We believe that through the transforming power of God's love, supportive services, outreach program opportunities and resources, we can help ignite hope in others to dream again.

OUR STORY

The Bible tells us not to despise small beginnings. With that in mind, Pastor Diana and Richard Garcia first planted Amazing Love Tabernacle in December 2012, a Full Gospel Assemblies International (PA) Affiliation, located in Six-Corner area of Springfield, Ma.'s inner city; with an emphasis on Prayer, Discipleship, Growth, Community Outreach and Services; but in April 2014, Pastor Diana began to experience a growing dissatisfaction. Her desire to provide greater assistance and services for others led her into a time of prayer & fasting. This time, God confirmed and sealed in her hear a dream and purpose. As a woman of daring faith, she stepped out in faith and contacted the LA Dream Center in Los Angeles, Ca.

Shortly after, Pastor Diana connected with Pastor Katelynn Miner of the Berkshire Dream Center in Pittsfield, Ma; and with a mutual love for Christ and passion to serve others, Pastor Katelynn and Leader Cathy Chapman, of the Berkshire Dream Center team, trained and assisted ALT to establish the Adopt-A-Block outreach in the Six Corner's neighborhood of Springfield, Ma.

THE GREAT ADVENTURE BEGINS

In June 2016, the Board of Amazing Love Tabernacle voted to become a part of the Dream Center Network. With their blessing, Diana and Richard, traveled to the Los Angeles Dream Center in California for a Short Mission Trip (STM). The STM was an incredible experience that marked them with a deeper passion and a greater dream to serve the City of Springfield, Ma and the Pioneer Valley. Towards the end of the STM, the First Pioneer Valley Dream Center became an Official Member of the Dream Center Network.
